Summary
Most people don't need a better plan.
They need to recognize the pattern that's running before that pattern makes the next decision.
In this episode, Elizabeth revisits and refreshes an older framework: Wishers, Wanderers, and Warriors through a 2026 lens. This is no longer about "types of people." It's about the 3 modes we all move through and how those modes shape our choices, consistency, and results.
You'll hear the difference between:
-
Wishers: stuck in longing, resentment, comparison, and victim mode
-
Wanderers: trying hard, but unstable under pressure and always looking for the next plan
-
Warriors: not perfect, but trained, resourceful, emotionally sober, and able to defend what matters
Elizabeth also explores why the real issue is often not desire or discipline, but permission: the subtle thought that makes abandoning your standard sound reasonable.
This episode is about:
-
moving from types of people to patterns of response
-
why 2016 was about desire, distraction, and discipline
-
why 2026 is about permission, pattern recognition, and protection
-
how to identify the mode you're in before it dictates your next choice
-
the difference between "just doing it" and having a trained response
-
how emotional sobriety and better defense change everything
If you've ever felt like you know what to do but still don't follow through, this episode will help you see why.
Because once you can name the pattern, you can interrupt the pattern.

| 0:35.5 | Thanks so much for joining me. We are going to do a little |
| 0:38.6 | bit of a throwback series. This was inspired by some of my clients in the consistency course. They |
| 0:44.2 | went back into the archives, 2014 episodes, 2015 episodes, 2016 episodes. And they were coming to me |
| 0:51.2 | into the consistency course. And they were like, oh my gosh, I listened to this episode from 2015. |
| 0:55.8 | Oh, can you touch on this again? |
| 0:57.4 | And so inside our, we have some like casual chats, live casual chats inside there. |
| 1:02.8 | And we were talking about some of the older episodes. |
| 1:05.7 | And they were like, you should do a throwback series. |
| 1:08.3 | And I thought that's a great idea. |
| 1:10.1 | So that is what we are doing. |
| 1:13.1 | A lot of what was shared in those early episodes, I would say most of, 90 plus percent of, |
| 1:19.6 | I still very much share those perspectives. But there's been, there's been evolutions that I think |
| 1:25.9 | have crystallized my thoughts and my |
| 1:28.2 | perspectives and my ideas, not only as I've grown and changed, but as I've worked with |
| 1:32.6 | more and more of you. |
| 1:35.0 | And the first episode that they suggested I revisit was episode 201. |
